What's Harder: Sequencing or In/Out?

futurelawyer22

I'd love to hear some opinions.

In/Out, for sure.

Generic, definitely in/out. With a twist, still in/out -- but sequencing with a twist makes good competition.

Sequencing is different from ordering, right? I assume we're referring to very specific game subtypes.

Simple ordering is different from sequencing, for example.

Definitely in/out games with Jugglers, CDs, and dinosaurs being the toughest among them. Only tough sequencing game I can think of is 68 game 4...?

Habeas Porpoise

I usually find In/Out more difficult. Sequencing games with a twist can be tough, too.
Then there's the occasional In/Out...with Sequencing.

Depends on what "Sequencing" means. But personally, In & Out games (or Grouping in general, for that matter) tend to be harder than a typical Sequencing game.

I think the conditional elements intertwined in In/Out games make it much more difficult (at least for me). Although nothing's scarier than that star game in PT 38...

When you become really skilled at grouping games, they start to 'feel' very linear. Linear games always 'feel' linear.

Am I crazy it does that first part make sense?

Honestly sequencing is harder for me. Oftentimes I'll take 7 min on a 5 min easy sequencing game but take 5 min on a hard 10 min grouping game. It's easier for me to make mistakes especially when there's only a few rules and there arent any/many possible worlds to fill out completely. And just conceptually in/out games make more sense to me like this guy cant go here but can go here and he always has to be with this other guy. Whereas sequencing feels more like memorizing math formulas which I've never been good at lol.

Typically, I prefer sequencing games. Though, as I've gotten better at chaining up the conditions and being able to see inferences within the chain, I've actually gotten more reliable with in-out games.

This is interesting because humans are linear thinkers.

If you asked me what 10+15 was right now I would freeze up lol sequencing games feel like math to me. Grouping feels like just throwing things into pots and pans. Guess i'm not human lol? //shrugs

Haha, maybe. :]

In/out suck, just like the burger chain
